LANCASTER, CA – March 10, 2023 – Lance Camper Mfg. Corp., a REV Group company, announces manufacturing will commence from April 2023 for its new Enduro Off-Road Trailer. As a leading manufacturer of Truck Campers and Travel Trailers, this marks Lance’s expansion into the overlanding product segment.
Lance first debuted the Enduro prototype as an overland-style concept trailer in November 2021, specifically designed to appeal to the overlanding, off-road and boondocking demographic. Following design modifications based on feedback from the public and dealer partners, the 2023 Enduro production model is a single-axle trailer with a floorplan which centers around an interior wet bath, u-shaped dinette, and an exterior kitchen. It features an all-new exoskeleton frame design and Curt independent suspension system with available state-of-the-art solar/ battery technology, onboard fresh water supply and filtration.
“Lance is no stranger to the adventure camping segment with our Truck Campers. Some might call the Truck Camper: the original overlanding RV,” said Gary Conley, Director of Sales and Marketing, Lance. “What we have done with the Enduro is taken the ‘get out there and camp’ sprit we know so well and combined it with Lance quality to make an off-grid trailer we think people are going to love.”
“Off-road enthusiasts push the limits of their vehicles which is not recommended with traditional trailers. With the Enduro, it offers the amenities overlanders want like a full stand-up shower, larger than a queen size bed and a real u-shaped dinette, plus heated/ cooled forced air and water in a capable and towable package with a dry weight under 3300 lbs,” said Randy Hunter, Product Development Manager, Lance.
Lance will repurpose current space in one of its Lancaster facilities for production of the Enduro. The Exchange Place building will build the Enduro and become the headquarters for Sales, Marketing and Product Development. Allowing these departments the space to grow, communicate and drive further innovation in conjunction with the warranty and service teams.

DECATUR, IN – March 21, 2023 – For those exploring the possibility of becoming full-time RVers, one common question or concern can be sacrificing some amenities which they are accustomed to at home.
Becoming a full-time RVer doesn’t mean you have to give up ‘at home’ amenities at all. At Fleetwood RV, for example, our coaches are made for whatever adventure RVers may have in mind. Several Fleetwood RV floor plans, including the Discovery® 36Q and our Discovery® LXE 36HQ, come equipped with Fleetwood’s luxurious, spacious kitchen island design, which was developed with full-timers or resort living in mind.
The kitchen island in the middle of the coach is perfect for RVers who like to set up for an extended stay. With a layout that’s perfect for entertaining and providing impressive amounts of extra storage, having the Fleetwood kitchen island can make the RV feel even more like home and provide an extra level of comfort. In addition, the ingenuity in the floor plan design means RVers can still access the half-bath at the middle of the coach and the bed when the slides are in and the coach is in motion. This makes it a great floor plan for families on the go or those who want to spread out and stay awhile.
Some people choose to stay in permanent RV parks because of how budget-friendly it is compared with renting or owning a home. Becoming a full-time RVer is also a great way to meet new people and explore more of nature – all of which makes finding the right long-term RV resort essential. There are different types of long-term RV parks offering monthly, seasonal, and annual parking plans.
Fleetwood RV highlights the benefits of its kitchen island floor plan in a recent blog post, which you can read at https://www.fleetwoodrv.com/resort-style-living-wherever-you-roam/.

EPHRATA, PA – Feb. 28, 2023 – REV Fire Group, which includes REV Group Inc. manufacturers of E-ONE®, KME®, Ferrara™, Spartan Emergency Response®, Spartan Fire Chassis™, Smeal™, and Ladder Tower™ fire apparatus brands, announces the expansion and $1.5 million renovation of its Ephrata, PA facility to allow for the increased manufacturing of aerial apparatus including tractor drawn aerials (TDAs). The expansion is expected to more than triple the production of TDAs, and nearly double the workforce.
With the leasing of two additional buildings on campus, REV Fire Group has doubled its space to a total of 123,000 square feet among four buildings. One of the new buildings will be used exclusively to manufacture aerial apparatus for Ladder Tower, KME and Ferrara brands. The other will be used to manufacture TDAs and will include a 20,000 square foot customer experience final inspection center with three bays. For the existing two buildings, one will be used for service and refurbishment of all REV Fire Group apparatus, and the other as a full paint shop.
“We are very excited to create an aerial and TDA manufacturing center of excellence for our brands,” said Dan DesRochers, President of REV Fire Group. “For more than 49 years we’ve perfected our process to build the finest ladder truck components. By specializing and taking advantage of the talent and knowledge base, we anticipate continuing to put out the best product in the industry while improving both lead time and customer satisfaction.”
The investment will support upgrades and renovations to increase operational efficiencies including updated paint and signage in the buildings, upgraded paint booths, and new tooling and fixtures to streamline the ladder welding process.
With the expansion of operations comes the need for more employees. The Ephrata facility will hold job fairs in coming months to recruit additional employees with the goal to ultimately double its current labor force.
